Healthcare workers (HCWs) have an increased risk of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens.
AIMS/OBJECTIVES: We aim to examine the utilisation and outcome of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for both HIV and hepatitis B (HBV) among HCWs.
This was a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary hospital in North-Western Nigeria. We reviewed data on HIV or HBV PEP given to HCWs between 2004 and 2016.
A total of 115 HCWs presented for PEP during the study period. Intern doctors were the most exposed group (40/115; 34.8%). There were 86/115 (74.8%) needle stick exposures. While 53/115 (46.1%) of the sources of exposure were HIV-positive, 9/115(7.83%) were HBV-positive. Zidovudine-based regimen (40/70) was the most commonly prescribed. No seroconversion occurred among those that completed PEP treatment and follow-up.
No seroconversion occurred among those that received either or both HIV and HBV PEP and completed PEP treatment.
医护人员职业暴露于血源性病原体的风险增加。
我们旨在研究医护人员中针对HIV和乙型肝炎(HBV)的暴露后预防(PEP)的使用情况及结果。
这是一项在尼日利亚西北部一家三级医院进行的回顾性研究。我们回顾了2004年至2016年间给予医护人员的HIV或HBV PEP的数据。
在研究期间,共有115名医护人员接受PEP。实习医生是暴露最多的群体(40/115;34.8%)。有86/115(74.8%)例针刺暴露。暴露源中53/115(46.1%)为HIV阳性,9/115(7.83%)为HBV阳性。基于齐多夫定的方案(40/70)是最常用的处方。完成PEP治疗和随访的人员中未发生血清转化。
